King For A Day by XTC
Lyrics & Translation
English
Everyone's creeping up to the money god
Putting tongues where they didn't ought to be
On stepping stones of human hearts and souls
Into the land of "nothing for free"
Well the way that we're living
Is all take and no giving
There's nothing to believe in
The loudest mouth will hail the new-found way
To be king for a day
Everyone's licking up to the new King Pin
Trying to get way up with a smile
Sing for your supper boy and jump to a finger click
Ain't my way of living in style
'Cause the ladder gets longer
And ambition gets stronger
I can't satisfy the hunger
That bad old moon has got you in its sway
To be king for a day
(King for a day)
You're only here once so you got to get it right
(No time to fuss and fight)
'Cause life don't mean much if measured out with someone else's plight
(In time you'll see the light)
'Cause the way that we're living
Is all take and no giving
There's not much to believe in
The loudest mouth will hail the new found way
To be king for a day

King For A Day* (original XTC)
Everyone's creeping up to the money god
Putting tongues where they didn't ought to be
On stepping stones of human hearts and souls
Into the land of "nothing for free"
Well the way that we're living
Is all take and no giving
There's nothing to believe in
The loudest mouth will hail the new-found way
To be king for a day
Everyone's licking up to the new King Pin
Trying to get way up with a smile
Sing for your supper boy and jump to a finger click
Ain't my way of living in style
'Cause the ladder gets longer
And ambition gets stronger
I can't satisfy the hunger
That bad old moon has got you in its sway
To be king for a day
(King for a day)
You're only here once so you got to get it right
(No time to fuss and fight)
'Cause life don't mean much if measured out with someone else's plight
(In time you'll see the light)
'Cause the way that we're living
Is all take and no giving
There's not much to believe in
The loudest mouth will hail the new found way
To be king for a day
King For A Day (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Todos se arrastran hacia el dios del dinero
Poniendo lenguas donde no deberían estar
Sobre peldaños de corazones y almas humanas
Hacia la tierra de "nada es gratis"
Bueno, la forma en que vivimos
Es todo tomar y nada de dar
No hay nada en qué creer
La boca más ruidosa aclamará la nueva forma
De ser rey por un día
Todos le lamen las botas al nuevo pez gordo
Intentando subir con una sonrisa
Canta por tu cena, chico, y salta al chasquido de un dedo
No es mi forma de vivir con estilo
Porque la escalera se alarga
Y la ambición se hace más fuerte
No puedo satisfacer el hambre
Esa vieja y mala luna te tiene bajo su influencia
Para ser rey por un día
(Rey por un día)
Solo estás aquí una vez, así que tienes que hacerlo bien
(No hay tiempo para quejarse y pelear)
Porque la vida no significa mucho si se mide con la desgracia de otro
(A tiempo verás la luz)
Porque la forma en que vivimos
Es todo tomar y nada de dar
No hay mucho en qué creer
La boca más ruidosa aclamará la nueva forma
De ser rey por un día
